You know how it is... You go on vacation,
and you think about all the opportunities you'll have to sketch some new
scenery. But no one ever wants to wait around while you whip out your
sketchbook and draw. So you take photos. Lots and lots of photos. Alas,
the moment has passed and those photos stay tucked inside a folder on
your phone or computer.

Well, not anymore! Join us as we explore the art of urban sketching, but from your photos.

In this workshop, we'll talk about:

- The art of urban sketching and what makes it different - The process of building a sketch - Different materials to use while on the go - Which colors to choose for your palette - How to take a photo so that you can properly draw from it later

Then we'll get to work on our urban sketching, so bring some photos that you've taken from your travels.

This 3 hour workshop is for the artist who is looking to expand on new
techniques and learn a new way of sketching on the go. (If you're new to
Urban Sketching, stay tuned for our Beginner's series.)

Each guest will receive the following supplies in their kit: - A Stillman & Birn Mixed Media sketchbook - A Sakura Koi Waterbrush - An 01 Micron waterproof pen

Recommended materials to bring with you are: - Any sketchbooks or materials you currently use including: - A pencil - Eraser - Watercolors - Brushes - A few of your photos to sketch from
